Flashmaps: Main Arteries into New York City & Important Telephone Numbers
New York, NY - Peter - Thursday, May 14th, 2009 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
I've gotta admit, I'm a sucker for those colors and lines
Although we've got 3-1-1
now, I kind of wish some of those "Recorded Information" lines still
worked. Anyway, I tried a few of the numbers just for fun... Suicide Prevention was someone's
mobile voicemail box. Stock Market Prices was a fax machine, World Series was a dead number
and Time of Day was a recording explaining that I had reached a non-working number belonging
to the US Government...

And no area codes on any of the numbers. Something tells me there's more than one area code now for New York City.
Peter: 14th May 2009 - 04:58 GMT
all manhattan landlines are 212, then and now... though now you actually have to dial it.
Tom: in the 70s there was only one area code per city.
Peter: 14th May 2009 - 05:59 GMT
in nyc, manhattan has always been 212, brooklyn/queens/bronx 718, etc... i even had a 212 mobile area code once.
pierre: 14th May 2009 - 08:30 GMT
347- New York City
718- New York City
917- New York City

NYCs telephone system would be interesting to explore... There's a lot of history in that as well, from the old electromechanical switching systems operating under Bell to the rich phone phreaking history of people trying to explore and abuse the network... There's some weird telephone #s out there today still, of interesting recordings and such. Some sound like they're running on some old equipment too, from like the 70s and 80s. Nice flashback
Peter: 19th May 2009 - 02:18 GMT
lol, i had a dialer when i first moved to nyc... they changed from that system about a year later, though.
